Forgive me but I am new to this fantastic site and message board and I have dumb question. I have seen alot of your comments about chimney starters and I don't believe I am familiar with them - unless I know them by another name. Where can I pick some up? I am real tired of dealing with lighter fluid.

Guest, most places that carry a line of charcoal grills in your local area will also sell chimney starters. You can also easily find them on-line using a seach engine or your favorite grilling accessories website. To get you familiar with the starter here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... 3?v=glance

All,
Thanks so much for all the info on the chimney starters. I really appreciate it. I will definitely be adding them to my "must-have's"...I did join the board and I am looking forward to learning more about cooking from all of you. From the posts I have seen so far, I have already saved myself alot of bad experiences and bad meals.....Again thanks and I look forward to the learning!

I have definitly learned many great things from you fine forum folks and some great BBQ books . Here are my top 10 things I'm so glad to know now:
1. Flames are not good under your food...ever
2. How much better a charcoal grilled steak tastes
3. Everything should not be grilled at the same temperature.
4. A good cut of steak is ruined by a marinade.
5. BBQ sauce is not a marinade, and is to be put on at the end to avoid blackened food.
6. You don't need a sauce to be BBQing.
7. How well charcoal grills control flareups.
8. That there is this wonderfull form of BBQ called indirect cooking.
9. How great real slow-cooked pork really is (Hey I'm a Texan!) 10. That everything is better cooked out on my porch rather than under my roof!
